In episode 17, we discuss the tradition of change and New Year’s resolutions from both the secular and the spiritual perspective. While society pressures us to make resolutions and changes solely based on the calendar date, that approach fails to take into account our own individual cycles, karma and the fact that we may be exactly where we are supposed to be at this moment in our lives.

In this episode:

The spiritual origins behind New Year’s resolutions

Traditions of reflection, introspection and change

Is this a time NOT to make a change?

Blame and the self-help culture

Internal versus external standards

Failure and self esteem

Much, much more….

Society inundates us with the message that we need to use the beginning of the year to make the changes in order to become the person we are meant to be: Lose weight, follow your dream and become more productive. But what if we aren’t prepared to make and follow through on those kinds of changes? And how do we make any kind of profound, long-lasting change if we do not accept and celebrate ourselves for who we already are?

In the second episode, The Transformational Moment, Jim1537, and his wife, Meremystic, take a spiritually and metaphysically investigative look at the moments, events, choices and realizations in our consciousness that are transformational.

This episode includes:

What is transformation?

How transformation differs from ordinary change?

What is the transformational moment?

The types of events that trigger transformational moments.

Do we always recognize a transformational moment?

The aftermath of the transformational moment

And much, much more….

This episode touches on metaphysical topics that have a profound, transformational effect on our lives such as the near death experience. It also covers issues such as how our relationships, careers, and many of our life choices also facilitate the transformational moment. Also addressed are the transformational moments that we don’t recognize at the time, such as how a choice to enter into a casual relationship can change everything. Ultimately, this episode helps us to identify and understand those key transformational moments that we all experience in the process of spiritual becoming.
